GADSDEN, Alabama --- Gadsden police are looking for the man who took an undisclosed amount of money from a check cashing business in East Gadsden Wednesday.

Capt. Bobby Jackson said the robbery occurred at 5:31 p.m., according to employees at Check Into Cash, at 453 George Wallace Drive.

The store's assistant manager said a black man, wearing a hooded dark gray jacket, blue jeans, with pantyhose pulled over his face, came into the business toting a handgun. He demanded employees hand over the money from the register.

Jackson said the man struck the manager in the head with his gun, then took more money from a bank bag. He then left in the direction of Forest River Apartments.
